Side-Tip Quad Road-train in 1:20 scale

Built this ,” little, ” Quad Road-Train for a NSW, Australia client last year. It, ” only,” measures 2.7 metres, ( 9ft ) from end to end x 127mm, ( 5” ) wide. A real one, is, ” only ”, 53.5 metres, ( 175ft. ) in length, and are quite common here in Australia away from the major population areas as they are heap cheaper to operate than a Railroad !!

htl,- That’s only a, ” baby,” one,- with a payload rating of, ” only, ” 120 tons. They come bigger with five or Six Trailers hooked up,- up to, 200 tons payload.The average Flat-deck triple here can carry 120 tons of general freight out on the highway.

I have a site on Facebook for my wooden models and there’s also a few videos showing our huge Road-trains out on the highways.
